Teleport City » Aankhen. 1967 saw the release of You Only Live Twice, a James Bond movie full of ninjas, hollowed-out volcanoes, egg-shaped monorail pods, and Sean Connery as the world’s most convincing Japanese man. The Eurospy trend was still swinging, and even Japan and Hong Kong were getting in on the fun. The result is that, soaked in the psychedelic, pop-art sensibilities of the mid-to-late sixties, the best spy movies ever were being made. Indian cinema, which has always been packed with insane set decoration, candy coloring, and fabulous outfits, would seem tailor-made to pump out more than a few eye-popping entries into the world of psychotronic spyjinks. And they didn’t let us down 1967 also saw the release of Farz, an Indian espionage thriller that did major business at the box office.

India is besieged by terrorists. The Vietnamese, you say? Where was I? Sunil is the son of India’s number one spy and great hero of the war. Starring opposite Mala is Dharmendra, still early in his career. Like this: Database: Amol Palekar. Iconic text. Literary Review Iconic text BEGUILED by the enchanting face of Aishwarya Rai on the cover, the unsuspecting reader who picks up the book after being introduced to Devdas through Sanjay Leela Bhansali is likely to be surprised. There is no opulence in the original Bangla novel — now translated into English with scrupulous care by Sreejata Guha — no lavish display of wealth and beauty.

It is in fact a stark narrative, with an understated beginning and a ruthless end. In the last pages of the novel the unclaimed dead body of Devdas is taken away by the doms and chandals (the translator refers to them as "the lowest of the low castes" ) who "did a hash job of burning it ... and threw the charred cadaver to one side; crows and vultures perched on it, dogs and wolves snatched at it. " The Bangla novel was published in 1917 — when the author was past 40 and at the zenith of his career. Devdas is marked by an unevenness that may be attributed to the fact that it was an apprentice work. MADAN MOHAN... The Musical Legend | The Official Website of Madan Mohan - Calcutta : etc. 'Do me a favour, let's play Holi,' Akshay Kumar urges Priyanka Chopra in Waqt: Race Against Time. Holi can't be complete without songs. And as the masses believe, it remains incomplete without Amitabh Bachchan.

But a lot is being said about the latest Holi song from Waqt A Race Against Time which in fact leaves out the Big B. The song doesn't allow the Rang barse Big B to shake a leg with Do me a favour, let's play Holi....but the song has already caught on. Just over a year ago the indomitable Amitabh Bachchan threw heaps of abeer and gulal on Hema Malini in Baghban. Hard to believe, a year has gone by since Big B pulled out all stops to celebrate that time of the year when everyone is allowed to show his or her true colours. And why not' Holi has always served as a moment of reckoning in our films.

Songs about the festival of colours have always been special. Phagun wasn't the only film whose dramatic epicentre was Holi. This year the Bachchans have a lot more to celebrate. V. Kamal Amrohi: Pakeezah | Features | Guardian Unlimited Film. The notion that the Indian commercial cinema, which still churns out more films per year than Hollywood, is total dross, made for the illiterate masses, dies hard. But it was always nonsense and, even today, when it could be claimed that India's cinema has been technically strengthened but culturally weakened by western influences, it's not wholly true. It certainly wasn't in the post-war decades, which produced a whole series of film-makers, stars, musicians and playback singers worthy of anyone's attention.

Among these directors was the Muslim Kamal Amrohi, whose Pakeezah qualifies as one of the most extraordinary musical melodramas ever made - "poetry, fantasy and nostalgia rolled into one on an epic scale", as one Indian critic has said. Amrohi was a writer and poet in Urdu and Hindi as well as a director, but only made four films. Production finally started in 1964 but when the couple separated it was postponed indefinitely halfway through. Desi Boyz (Title song ) Akshay Kumar, John Abraham. Oh Nachle (John Abraham & Suniel Shetty song Lakeer) Gumnaam (clip) Bollywood Top 10 of the Year. Bollywood Top 10 of the Year India Currents, Review, Aniruddh Chawda Posted: Dec 29, 2006 2006 witnessed some highly profitable movies from Bollywood and beyond with at least half-a-dozen sizable blockbusters (Krrish, Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, Rang De Basanti, Lage Raho Munnabhai, Phir Hera Pheri, and Fanaa) spearheading the box-office charge along with several moneymakers and a handful of break-even projects.

Only 20 years ago, the Hindi film industry was in total turmoil: megastar Bachchan was mired in political and legal scandals, the Lata-Rafi music era had ended, and movies were so lackluster that in 1986-87 Filmfare didn’t even bother hosting their famous film awards show. The resurgence of the film industry, interestingly, coincided with the liberalization of India’s economy over the last two decades. Based on that theory, the future looks so bright that we may yet need the proverbial sunglasses to gaze at the marquee. A recap of the year’s film highlights. Happy moviegoing.
